Bad news for HD-DVD and probably the beginning of the end for HD-DVD.

Not surprised, the only movies I own in HD-DVD are Adventures of Robin Hood,Bourne Supremacy, The Thing, Serenity and Transformers - there is very little choice for those who chose HD-DVD now, 70% of stuff is exclusive to Blu ray.

I'm not too worried.

I'll probably end up buying a dual format HD-DVD/Blu-ray player so I can play my ever-growing HD-DVD collection. I have about 25 or 30 HD-DVD's now, so I ain't gonna bin them.

I'll be getting one of those Samung dual formats once I've got the first LCD bought. BR definitely seems to be inching ahead though.

The biggest 2 films I wanted to watch..Bourne Ultimatum..and Transformers...
Both HD-DVD exclusive ;o)

Also, a dual format is often no cheaper than going for seperates ;)

Yeah, but I don't really want two boxes when I can have one that does the same job.

Eventually..when at a good price, then I would go dual. But when its over £500 for dual...you are better off with a PS3 and EP30

ill be just buying bluray i think - not too sure, will be a while before i buy a PS3, and i may get a dual one it all depends - but i will be waiting for as long as i can - reason being when i got a DVD Recorder (which i dont use now i have sky+) i paid £179.99 - within one month they were £99.99 everywhere :(

then i got sky+ - paid £99.99 for the box, 2 weeks later sky were doing them for £50.

so yeah - when i really, really want one, ill wait a month longer :)

Currently I've got 18 HD DVDs and 8 Blu Rays in my collection. Don't know why but I was kind of hoping HD DVD would win through. I really wanted to get an ep-35 so I could here the TruHD soundtrack through the analogue outs. I actually ordered one on Saturday through Play.com and then read the Warner announcement on Sunday and canceled. I've still got my fingers crossed for HD DVD, but for now I'll stick with my 360 add-on and wait 'till the dust settles.
